Borneo Tours & Holidays

Anthropologists, adventure-seekers and animal lovers alike are drawn to Borneo’s steamy jungles, blissful mountains, balmy beaches and peaceful villages.

These tropical shores have a glorious diversity. Float down the Kinabatangan River, the most biologically diverse rainforest in the world; see the sun rise over Mt Kinabalu; meet mischievous orangutans in Sepilok; chow down on a tasty laksa or take in the incredible underwater scenery snorkelling in Tunku Abdul National Marine Park. Borneo’s wild bounty awaits.

Borneo Family Holiday

Jennie · Traveled August 2024
The Borneo Family trip was everything we were hoping for and more. The trip gave us amazing wildlife experiences, from night walks to turtles. The kids loved making new friends, and sharing the experiences with them.

Sabah Adventure

Jean-Claire · Traveled August 2024
Absolutely fantastic trip! A real mix of activities, wildlife and culture, as well as the diversity of the mountains, jungle and island! Climbing Mt Kinabalu was a fantastic challenge and a real highlight! As was the (all too brief) visit to Turtle Island.

Sabah Adventure

Antony · Traveled August 2024
Fantastic trip and a great group experience. Mt Kinabalu was great and so were all the animals (orangutans!) & plants. Nelson was a fantastic guide.

Sabah Adventure

Shauna · Traveled August 2024
Great trip. Hard to pick a highlight. Offers so much variety with the beaches, mountain climb, jungle and wildlife spotting opportunities. I loved all of it and it lived up to all my expectations. As others said don’t underestimate the mountain it will be much more enjoyable if you prep yourself. Bring a proper camera even just a compact point and shoot for photos. Nelson was an amazing guide passionate and took photos of all the group both candid and posted. We had such a great group. Book this trip.
